For IFA 2016, Samsung is launching two new quantum dot curved gaming monitors, the CFG70 (24″, 27″) and the CF791 (34″).

What’s special about the new Samsung CFG70 and CF791 is that they’ll be Samsung’s first quantum dot curved gaming monitors. These quantum dot monitors feature a wide color gamut of up to 125% of the sRGB spectrum and are also the first cadmium-free quantum dot curved monitors which are much more environmentally friendly than previous cadmium based models.
